And calling
His twelve disciples to
Him
, Jesus
gave them authority
over
unclean spirits, so
that
they
could
drive
them out and heal every
disease
and
sickness.
And when
he
had
called
unto
him
his twelve disciples, he
gave them power
against
unclean spirits, to
cast
them out ,
and to
heal all
manner
of
sickness and
all
manner
of
disease
.
These
are
the names of the twelve apostles :
first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew
; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John
;
Now
the names of the twelve apostles are

.
Simon the Canaanite
, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed him
.
These twelve Jesus sent out
with
the
following
instructions:
“Do
not
go onto
the road
of the Gentiles or
enter
any town
of the Samaritans .
These twelve Jesus sent forth,
and
commanded
them,
saying,
Go not
into
the way
of the Gentiles ,
and
into
any city
of the Samaritans enter
ye
not:
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
But
go rather to the lost sheep of the
house
of
Israel.
As you
go, preach this
message:
‘
The kingdom of heaven is near
. ’
And
as ye
go, preach ,
saying,
The kingdom of heaven is at
hand
.
Heal the sick, raise
the
dead,
cleanse the lepers, drive
out demons.
Freely you
have received ;
freely give.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise
the
dead,
cast
out devils:
freely ye
have received ,
freely give.
Do
not
carry
any
gold or
silver or
copper
in your belts.
Provide
neither
gold ,
nor
silver ,
nor
brass
in your purses,
Take
no
bag
for the
road
, or
second
tunic
, or
sandals
, or
staff;
for the worker
is worthy of his provisions
.
Nor
scrip
for your
journey
, neither
two
coats
, neither
shoes
, nor
yet
staves:
for the workman
is worthy of his meat
.
Whatever
town
or village
you
enter, find
out
who is worthy there
and stay
at
his
house
until
you
move
on
.
And
into
whatsoever
city
or town
ye
shall
enter, enquire
who in
it
is worthy ;
and there
abide
till
ye
go
thence
.
As
you
enter
the
home
, greet
its
occupants
.
And
when
ye
come
into
an
house
, salute
it
.
If the home
is
worthy, let your peace rest
on
it ;
but if it is
not, let your peace return to you.
And
if the house
be
worthy, let your peace come
upon
it :
but if it be
not worthy
, let your peace return to you.
And if
anyone
will
not welcome
you or
heed
your words, shake the dust off
your feet when
you
leave
that
home
or
town
.
And whosoever
shall
not receive
you ,
nor
hear
your words, when
ye
depart
out
of
that
house
or
city,
shake off
the dust of
your feet.
Truly
I tell
you, it will
be more bearable
for Sodom and Gomorrah
on
the day of judgment than for that town
.
Verily
I say
unto
you, It shall
be more tolerable
for the
land
of
Sodom and Gomorrha
in
the day of judgment ,
than for that city
.
Behold, I am
sending
you out
like
sheep among
wolves ;
therefore
be as
shrewd
as snakes
and as
innocent
as doves.
Behold, I send
you forth
as
sheep in
the
midst
of
wolves :
be ye
therefore
wise
as serpents,
and harmless
as doves.
But beware of men ;
for they will hand
you over
to their
councils and flog
you in their synagogues .
But beware of men :
for they will deliver
you up
to the
councils ,
and they
will
scourge
you in their synagogues ;
On
My
account,
you
will
be brought before governors and kings as
witnesses
to
them and to
the Gentiles.
And
ye
shall
be brought before governors and kings for
my
sake,
for
a
testimony
against
them and the Gentiles.
But when they hand
you over
, do
not
worry
about
how to
respond
or what to
say.
In that hour you
will
be
given
what to
say
.
But when they deliver
you up
, take
no
thought
how or what ye
shall
speak:
for
it
shall
be
given
you
in that same
hour what ye
shall
speak
.
For it will
not be
you
speaking
, but the Spirit of your Father speaking
through
you.
For it is
not ye
that
speak
, but the Spirit of your Father which
speaketh
in
you.
Brother will
betray
brother to death, and a
father his
child ;
children will
rise against their parents and have
them put to death.
And
the
brother shall
deliver
up
the
brother to death, and the
father the
child :
and
the
children shall
rise up
against their parents ,
and cause
them to
be
put to death.
You
will
be hated by
everyone
because
of My name,
but the
one
who
perseveres
to the end will
be saved.
And
ye
shall
be hated of all
men
for
my name's
sake:
but he
that
endureth
to the end shall
be saved.
When they persecute you in one
town
, flee to
the
next.
Truly
I tell
you, you
will
not reach
all
the towns
of Israel before
the Son of Man comes
.
But
when they persecute you in this
city
, flee ye
into
another:
for
verily
I say
unto
you, Ye
shall
not have
gone
over
the cities
of Israel ,
till
the Son of man be
come
.
A
disciple is not above his teacher
, nor a
servant above his master
.
The
disciple is not above his master
, nor the
servant above his lord
.
It is enough for a
disciple to
be like
his teacher
, and a
servant like
his master
. If the head
of the house has
been
called
Beelzebul
, how much more the
members
of his household !
It is enough for the
disciple that
he
be as
his master
, and the
servant as
his lord
. If they
have
called
the master
of the house Beelzebub
, how much more shall
they
call
them
of his household ?
So
do
not
be
afraid
of
them .
For there is nothing concealed
that will
not be disclosed,
and nothing
hidden
that will
not be made
known.
Fear
them not
therefore:
for there is nothing covered,
that shall
not be revealed;
and hid,
that shall
not be known.
What I tell you in the
dark
, speak in the
daylight;
what is
whispered
in your
ear, proclaim
from
the housetops.
What I tell you in darkness
, that
speak ye
in light:
and
what ye
hear
in the
ear, that
preach
ye
upon
the housetops.
Do
not be
afraid
of
those
who
kill the body but cannot
kill the soul .
Instead,
fear the
One
who
can
destroy both soul and body in hell.
And
fear
not them
which
kill the body ,
but are
not
able
to
kill the soul :
but
rather
fear him
which
is
able
to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny
? Yet
not
one of them will
fall to
the ground apart
from
the
will
of
your Father.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing
? and
one of them shall
not
fall on
the ground without
your Father.
And
even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
But
the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
So
do
not be
afraid;
you
are worth
more than many sparrows.
Fear
ye
not therefore,
ye
are of
more value
than many sparrows.
Therefore everyone
who
confesses
Me before men, I
will also
confess him
before My Father in heaven.
Whosoever
therefore shall
confess
me before men, him
will I
confess also
before my Father which
is
in heaven.
But whoever
denies
Me before men, I
will also deny him
before My Father in heaven.
But whosoever
shall
deny
me before men, him
will I
also deny before my Father which
is
in heaven.
Do
not assume
that I have
come to bring
peace to
the
earth ;
I have
not come
to bring
peace, but a sword.
Think
not that I am
come to send
peace on
earth :
I came
not to send
peace, but a sword.
For I have
come to turn
‘
a man against his father, a
daughter against her mother, a
daughter -
in -
law against her mother -
in -
law.
For I am
come to set
a man at
variance
against his father, and
the
daughter against her mother, and
the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
A man’s
enemies
will
be the
members
of his own household. ’
And
a man's
foes
shall
be they
of his own household.
Anyone
who
loves
his
father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me ;
anyone
who
loves
his
son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me ;
He
that
loveth
father or mother more than me is not worthy of me :
and
he
that
loveth
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me .
and anyone
who
does
not take
up
his cross and follow
Me is not worthy of Me.
And he
that
taketh
not his cross ,
and followeth
after
me ,
is not worthy of me.
Whoever
finds
his life will
lose it ,
and whoever
loses
his life for My sake will
find it.
He
that
findeth
his life shall
lose it :
and he
that
loseth
his life for my sake shall
find it.
He who
receives
you receives
Me, and he who
receives
Me receives
the
One
who
sent Me.
He that
receiveth
you receiveth
me, and he that
receiveth
me receiveth
him
that
sent me.
Whoever
receives
a prophet because
he
is
a prophet will
receive a prophet’s
reward ,
and whoever
receives
a righteous man because
he
is
a righteous man will
receive a righteous man’s
reward.
He
that
receiveth
a prophet in
the
name
of
a prophet shall
receive a prophet's
reward ;
and he
that
receiveth
a righteous man in
the
name
of
a righteous man shall
receive a righteous man's
reward.
And if
anyone
gives
even
a
cup
of
cold
water
to one of these little ones because
he
is
My
disciple, truly
I tell
you, he will
never
lose his reward. ”
And whosoever
shall
give
to drink
unto
one of these little ones a
cup
of
cold
water
only
in
the
name
of
a
disciple, verily
I say
unto
you, he shall
in
no
wise
lose his reward.
